Hi guys,
I was having a think over backing two or more horses in a race and the most profitable way to 'Dutch' them.
The best way I can explain it is with an example -

Given two horses: (A) @ 2.50 and (B) @ 5.00 with a race target of $100.00 -

To Return $100.00: (A) $40.00 @ 2.50 = Return $100.00, (B) $20.00 @ 5.00 = Return $100.00.
Result: Outlay = $60.00; (A) Win $40.00, (B) Win $40.00 or Loss $60.00.

To Win* $100.00: (A) $67.00 @ 2.50 = Return $167.50, (B) $25.00 @ 5.00 = Return $125.00.
Result: Outlay = $92.00; (A) Win $75.50, (B) Win $33.00 or Loss $92.00.

I know the result is skewed to the shorties but is that a bad thing given that shorties salute more often? I also know that different price ranges will alter the outcome but...... ???

What are your thoughts?
